That should really make anyone reconsider getting one of those Russian brides, but I have a feeling that none of those sham marriages last long enough for that to happen.

My dad married a Croatian woman and mentioned that she was pretty rare amongst the Slavic women in that she didn't turn into a bridge troll when she got older. His comment was that most Slavic women get "lumpy" as they age.

Airgun and Small bore are two different events which take different disciplines, a lot of athletes compete in both though. The unfortunate looking girl who won us our first gold medal will be shooting .22lr in a day or two. The real bullshit came in with London. Can't have a bunch of Olympians at a sanctioned sporting event with ~pistols!!!~ so they gave them laser pointer adapters. If I'm recalling correctly, they sprung this idea on the athletes only like a month or two before the games so they barely had time to practice with the dumbass things.

She seemed pretty normal looking to me. In fairness the US Shooting Teams Photographer sucks. No one on that page has a good photo.

iyaayas01 posted:

nah honestly very little of that exists. The sporting clays events (trap, skeet, and double trap) are relatively "normal" in that it's just folks with (super fancy) O/Us busting clays, but the remainder of shooting events are all either airgun or smallbore, both of which are pretty much across the board augmented Universal Soldier "I have five different things hanging off my shooting glasses and a super low-bore pew pew spacegun" "shooting." The least weird non-shotgun shooting olympic sport is probably biathlon, only because they can't have all that bullshit hanging off their face when they shoot because they have to go ski a couple miles in between shots (biathlon shooters typically only have super-fancy aperture sights, nothing else)

Also worth mentioning the US Women's Skeet and Trap shooter is a goddamn beast with 5 medals from each of the last 5 Olympics.

But yeah for neat pew pew sports (that aren't clay, skeet, or trap) you're going to need to watch three gun or USDPA competitions....though USDPA custom guns are every bit as ridiculous as the Olympic small bore ones.

Eh at least if it is dye packs it's not normal sea dye. That poo poo turns everything that comes into contact with it or the water it's in a shade of neon green

the international swimming body is saying the Brazilian organizers ran out of some of the chemicals used to treat the water which caused the pH to be out of balance

so not contamination or algae, but hilariously incompetent levels of planning. I was reading an article that was interviewing some SoCal rich person pool installer maintenance guy and when asked what would happen if this occurred in one of his pools, he just said "I'd be fired."

I don't think pH being out of balance is going to change the color on its own. I let that poo poo get woefully off kilter in a hot tub repeatedly as a lazy teenager and nothing like that ever happened.

Our counter-drug operations deployments to SOUTHCOM went to a really lovely place that had a pretty 3-block tourist section. Our hotel had a pool that was opened to the locals (free) every Monday. Every Tuesday the water was cloudy, yellowish, and had *stuff* floating in it (not like Baby Ruths, but just little specks of whatever). It never turned neon green.
